probably an air war. But I think that he's going to stabilize the situation with Russia, probably stabilize the situation with North Korea, probably keep the Chinese thing on ice. But in terms of Iran, that regime is not going to last the next four years. They're gone in four years, which then sets up a bigger problem for us because Iran's terrible.

But the bigger problem is Turkey is moving into the region and that's a NATO partner, supposedly. And we might be, you know, butting heads with them, not just diplomatically, but in theater, in combat with Turkey. So I don't know how Trump's going to manage that. Transparency, though, I think we will get probably 50-50. We'll probably find out more about the JFK assassination, for instance.

I don't think we're going to find out more about this UAP thing. And for Tulsi, Um, I know Tulsi. I know her father. I worked on the Hill contemporaneously with Tulsi. Uh, we used to be right next to each other and, or she was behind our office. A big fan of hers. I just don't, I hope that she gets confirmed because, um, they're definitely working to stop her in RFK. That's what it looks like.

Yeah, no, I was involved with political campaigns for the Republican Party going back to the age of 16. I got involved very early in life. And then I worked various political campaigns throughout my home state of Florida. Then I went to college at DePaul University. I suffer from Crohn's disease. So I was up in Chicago. Hey. What's that?

So I was in Chicago because my doctor was up there. With the treatment, right. I was up there for my doctor, and I ended up going to college at DePaul. Then I used some contacts I had from the campaign days to get a job on Capitol Hill after I graduated.

I was in D.C., worked on the Hill for about three, three and a half years, then had our first child, my wife and I, and there was no way that on a Hill staffer's salaryβ I was going to be able to raise a family, so I went private sector. I was consulting various academic groups. I spent time at Oxford. I was doing work on my... And I got sick there, so I couldn't finish my DPhil.

But basically, I've always been sort of in that academic national security milieu. I've always loved national security affairs. It's always intrigued me. And then I do a lot of consulting work with the Defense Department, writing...

All of the above. I would say that when I started out, I was very much unwittingly a neoconservative and I did work with the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. I was very much a globalist and 2016 came and having children and seeing the way that the Trump revolution happened. I lived in Britain also during the Brexit movement.

So seeing all those things in relatively the same timeframe and then being treated the way I was by former colleagues and friends because I dared to sign a letter in support of Trump early in the primary, that really started me rethinking. And then by the time COVID hit, I wouldn't have recognized myself if I were in college looking at myself. I was completely, you might say radicalized.
